A lovely stay in Sussex

We spent our last few days in the UK at the barn and loved our stay there. The accommodation was very comfortable and charming - full of character. The location was superb, tucked away in the heart of the lovely Sussex countryside with friendly local pubs within easy walking distance. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and were happy to suggest the best local walks from the cottage using the map they supplied for us. Just a short drive from Gatwick Airport, we hope to stay again next time we visit the UK.

Short stay

Very good accommodation for a short stay in a lovely area. Some minor issues include tiny shower room with toilet under sloping roof of the stairs. Shower stopped working twice during use then started again with cold water. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

A perfect, cosy get away

My partner and I loved our stay at step cottage barn. We came for peace and quiet before the arrival of our baby and that’s exactly what we got. The barn is so cosy and relaxing. We had all the supplies we needed and the property managers were so easy to contact for anything else. We would definitely return for another escape from the city!

Autumn break in Danehill

owner was available to welcome us and show us round the property and garden and to help us find a beautiful and much needed walk after our long journey. Everything was just as stated in the information we had been given. Perhaps the guides and leaflets could do with a bit of an update but that didn’t really affect us as we had planned our own itinerary beforehand. A very enjoyable four days spent in a beautiful area of Sussex. Oh, and very importantly, the Barn was well equipped and very clean and tidy.
